" Watches the bustle, prepares tremendous fun, especially because of the terrific actor ensemble, from the adjacent Cruz from his partner " Strawberry and Chocolate " is mentioned. Jorge Perugorria that plays an energetic blind man who can see very well "
"With irony, emotional warmth and magic realism Tabío draws the vision of a socialist happiness, in which only the Interpersonal counts."
" Too long and sometimes - boring is the movie to really entertain beyond a certain enjoyment of friendly sprinkling with good-hearted people and stories, the humor of the few initial situation is more and more replaced by good nature to sentimentality. "
